Where can I get some poly bushings for my sway bars. My 97 Civic coupe has 136,000 miles and I'm thinking this would be a cheap way to stiffen my cornering.

if you are going to do it you might as well just get an entire bushing kit....it is going to help your handling SOOOOOOOO much! By now, with a 136K onyour car....the nice little rubber bushings that came from the factory are damn near destroyed....might as well do it all at once...check here for a kit</P>

Thanks for the information. I don't see anything for a rear sway bar. Is this called the lower compensator bar on a Honda?

I found a 19 mm rear anti-sway bar. Is this going to make my ride too stiff for daily driving. Also does anyone know if the stock front anti-sway bar is 22 mm?

a bigger front sway bar will introduce more understeer and a bigger rear swaybar will introduce oversteer, therefore if you replace one replace them both preferably by buying them in a kit. With that said 19mm shouldn't be too stiff for daily driving but like I said, if you replace it replace the front as well.

I'm looking at this too.
How hard are they to replce.
The bushings I mean.

I've considered a front top strut bar, but the polys are lokking like a good mod too.
